Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) such as the Toyota Prius have been an important market for nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. However, the best current technology to store the energy required by electric motors is the lithium-ion battery, and most (although not all) types of such batteries contain nickel.
